Flemington man sentenced to 7 years

FLEMINGTON – A 55-year-old borough man who already has done time for sexually assaulting a child will return to state prison after he was sentenced Friday for having sexual contact with another child under age 13.

George Holzman, who pleaded guilty to the second-degree charge, was sentenced to seven years in prison by Superior Court Judge Stephen Rubin. Holzman also was ordered to be under parole supervision for life and be monitored under the terms of Megan’s Law.

Holzman was arrested in 2011 after a joint investigation by detectives from the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victim’s Unit, State Police and Flemington police. The abuse occurred between July 2005 and July 2006.

It will not be the first time Holzman will go to prison for this type of crime.

In 1993, Holzman was convicted of sexually assaulting a child under 13. A Superior Court judge sentenced Holzman to 25 years in state prison. But Holzman got out after he became eligible for parole after 12 ½ years, court records show.

Holzman also ran into trouble in 2008 when authorities accused him of failing to register with the state's Megan’s Law sex offender registry while he lived in Delaware Township.
